My 9 year old came home asking why some of his friends celebrate different holidays and believe different things about God. I want to be respectful of other people but also help him understand why we believe what we believe. Tried to explain it but I'm honestly not sure I did a great job. Any of you...

Wife finally said okay to turn half the garage into a real workshop space. Right now everything is just scattered everywhere. I want to get a decent workbench, some wall storage, maybe a small table saw for some woodworking projects I've been wanting to do. Budget is like $800-1000 to start. Trying ...

Been working with her all summer. She'd get so frustrated and cry saying she couldn't do it. Today we went out, I held the seat like usual, and then I just let go. She made it like 50 feet down the driveway before wobbling but NOT falling. The look on her face was priceless. We must have practiced f...

Just unboxed my new Traeger pellet grill and its beautiful. Its been sitting in my driveway for 2 hours while I figure out the best spot. I know its just a grill but man this thing is a beast. First cook is gonna be ribs this weekend. Anyone have tips for breaking in a new smoker?

So my man cave gets absolutely brutal in the summer. Its in the basement but the ac doesnt reach down there much. Thinking about getting a window unit but dont want to run electricity all that way. Has anyone dealt with this? Miniature fridge and fans just arent cutting it anymore when me and the gu...

Took the boys camping for the first time last weekend at a state park about an hour away. First night my youngest gets scared of the dark and wants to sleep in the car. Second night someone didnt secure the food properly and we had a raccoon situation at 2am. Third night actual decent camping happen...

Decided to replace the railing on my deck this weekend without calling a professional because I figured how hard could it be right. Wrong. So wrong. Spent 6 hours on Saturday just getting the old bolts out because previous owner apparently used concrete mix instead of normal screws. Finally got new ...

Just finished The Bear and I'm looking for something new. Need something good but not TOO heavy because I usually fall asleep halfway through anyway. Probably 2 hours a week max after the kids go down. What's everyone else on?

Got my draft tonight and I'm way too hyped about it. Been doing mock drafts all week like that matters lol. This is year 5 of the league and I've never won so this is my year for sure. Probably going to disappoint myself spectacularly.

I have a wife, three kids, friends I see regularly, but lately I've been feeling this weird emptiness. Like I'm going through the motions but not really connected to anything. My therapist says it might be depression creeping in. Started going back to the gym which helps a little. But mostly I'm jus...

I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it. Been saving this one for the right moment with my kids. Pretty sure they'll groan so hard.

Planning our first real camping trip with the kids (ages 4 and 8) at a state park about 90 mins away. We've done backyard camping but this is the real deal. Already have a decent tent but I'm torn between buying a new sleeping bag setup vs renting. Also wondering if I should get one of those camping...

I know I'm like 15 years late but holy crap this show is gold. I've been watching it on my breaks at work and can't stop. My kids keep asking why I'm laughing at my phone. Already told my wife we need to do a family watch through once they're a bit older. Michael Scott is genuinely one of the funnie...

We've been working on his reading all summer and tonight he just grabbed a book and read the whole thing out loud. He nailed every word and didn't ask for help once. The look on his face when he finished was everything. These moments go so fast man.

8 year old has been playing since he was 4 and honestly he was pretty bad the first couple years. This season something just clicked and now his team qualified for regionals. He ran around the field like crazy after they won the qualifying game. Already talking about training over the summer. So pro...
